Slot Machine Strategy?

[magneto]

One of my best friends and I would travel to the local casino some years back from time to time.  Wasn't a very fun casino but it was about as good as we could get for those times as gambling was very restricted back then.  He was a big fan of playing slots and always seemed to have some sort of strategy.  He would look for players who were sitting at a machine for a long period of time and then play them.  There were a couple other things he did that he called "strategy" but I can't remember what they were.

My question for you guys, is there any strategy you know of for slot machines ? I think this more so applies to in person casinos but maybe online as well.

Does waiting to get on a machine that gets heavily played a legit strategy?  Does it make more sense to play different types of machines or play one machines for a long period of time? Etc etc..

No.

Most of the slot machines in casinos have inbuilt RNG and do not pay out whenever it becomes "due". That is just classic gambler's fallacy.

The online slots do not have a strategy either. You may be able to maximise your expected returns by playing the max amount every time to get a chance at bonus features, but that's about it.

This is a well-known strategy (at least in my country 10 years ago, maybe now something has changed in the algorithms). It is based on the fact that when the slot machine was "fed" it must "give". Therefore, some operators of gambling clubs watched slot machines and when they saw that a visitor lost a lot of money on one of the machines, they themselves began to play on it, guessing the moment when it should "give".

I think there's no strategy but pure luck in slots.

In dice there's a good chance can apply strategy but it's hard to win every time with the strategy in the long run and comes in the short run.

I've lost every time on the auto bet, the long i went the more often i lost.
When i played auto bet on dice then I used to record screen and sleep, then check the progression later that day, it was tragic.

There are two viable and feasible strategies that I know of and these would only work on the most unsophisticated types of machines and most likely not in the casinos nor online. The first one is "hacking" the machine. It takes plenty of time but it eventually can be done if two people start observing and noting combinations and eventually get better odds. The other is simpler, and is simply measuring how long was the last big price and go in when it is "hot".

We can think for any strategy and its up to you if you’re going to believe on that or not because for me, there’s no strategy when it comes to slot machines, the system was already set up for house to win on that machine and that game is pure of luck for me. Just enjoy playing slot machines without making any pressure to you, that’s a fun game though.

Most probably the first one will put you on a bigger risk and you can't do this on any Casinos since they monitor everything and one suspicious win can trigger the alarm for sure and you'll be put on a bigger screen. The second one will take a lot of time and money, you can't just count like that and there's no assurance that it can be accurate since slots machines are not fixed. In short, there's no strategy that will work for long term in slot machine, you might find one that will work in just a short time but don't expect that it will also work the next day when you come back.

I don't think gamblers can see the percentage of their win chance as they can in dice or other crypto gambling games.
Also, even if players start to implement strategies then it will be amount raised after certain bets and there's always a chance to go on a lose streak and lose it all.

What’s the probability to win on Slot Machines? i guess its unknown since the slot machines are system operated and I wonder how the house set up the machines and how much its limit of reward for a day. I’m been thinking a lot about the possible strategy and seriously, I can’t find any and it frustrates me so stop looking for such strategy, I just started to play the game without any stress.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about!

Their house edge isn't made public so there's no saying what chance you have of winning.
I've seen there are some casinos that provide bonuses on rolling a certain amount on a particular slot or all slots of a company.
I'm certain those slots have at least 5% house edge.

Man, i will tell you for honest: After i have finished Harvard course about probability i can tell to you that there is no any "strategy" for dice or slots. Even term "strategy" doesn't have any sense towards this games.

It's pure luck-based games and you have only one strategy: Is to count EV (expected value) so you will now win your or loose on a long run.

^ Slot machine online and slot machine offline are totally different from each other. You cannot apply those methods of strategy online because upon spinning the wheels they use RGN so that everyone can verify the probability of this. I think there is no right strategy here, we know that slots online are based on luck and I don't think so how you will discover this strategy.

Physical and online slots are different on some aspects and i dont see on how these things would be verified out but for sure house edge is
really big when it comes to slot games.Its true that it is based on luck and i dont see any strategies that would really be applied on this
because it is really depending on how lucky you are because everything is really on random when it comes to hit those spots.
So better stress out yourself with this one.

I think it's one of their superstition believing that ones a machine is in a continuous play it will give sooner a reward thus guessing the right time by continuing playing the machine. As I believe that would most likely to happen in some other machine but I don't know about nowadays since I rarely play slot. Maybe they were or I were just lucky back then because the longer you play with the same machine you will notice how odd it is to give a reward it's like reading their next move but still guessing.

Money management is the main strategy, it would be hard to describe anything more complex for a range of games.  The best approach is get comfortable and familar with the dynamics of a game on a lower betting amount before moving up to bet seriously.   Not everyone has the patience to do this but I'd suggest its worth it if you are going to be playing for any amount of time, I think people rush a little too much.   Give yourself a budget both cash wise and time and be comfortable with a game before spending much on it.

[alegotardo]

I believe that in a fair slots game there's not much you can do other than control your spending and stakes.
The rest should be completely random and based on odds and luck.
I don't know anyone who has proven any successful strategy.

This is a well-known strategy (at least in my country 10 years ago, maybe now something has changed in the algorithms). It is based on the fact that when the slot machine was "fed" it must "give". Therefore, some operators of gambling clubs watched slot machines and when they saw that a visitor lost a lot of money on one of the machines, they themselves began to play on it, guessing the moment when it should "give".

I believe that nowadays "modern" casinos shouldn't use it anymore.
But this is a "strategy" of machine owners in general that shouldn't die too soon. As I have recently seen the owners of a keymaster network get arrested for using it on their machines.

more than a strategy it is knowledge of the machines
the gaming machines, by law, must release tot prizes every tot income
so if there are players who play for a long time, not taking any prizes
the chance of having paid a premium is higher

[bitzizzix]

Just luck to win, that's all, and no methods to win, no tricks or anything.
and we just need to insert a coin or token and then press a button or pull a lever, and we have no control over what combinations appear and those combinations are predetermined by the computer software that runs the machine so we cannot change what is programmed to appear.
and playing slot machines is fun because it's for fun, and no matter how often you play it without knowing it, lose more than win and that's also by luck.

There are cases in the past where someone can cheat a physical machine but it doesn't apply generally at all slots. It's also impossible to apply that strategy in an online casino therefore you can now close the possibility of any strategy that can apply to online casinos.

If luck comes to us then good. Just limit the expected winnings in order not to get busted on that day. The same goes when losing. If such cases that whatever we do, we are not hitting those wins, we have to realize that it's not our day but to come back next time.

I already told in one of the threads that my friends and I tracked in the same way slots that did not give winnings for a long time, and when the losing player left tried to take exactly those slots. About 10 years ago this strategy worked and we could get rich in one evening. As far as it is relevant now, I do not even know as gambling is prohibited in my country and illegal casinos I visit very rarely.

If this is talking about 10 years ago then it might really be that relevant but in todays then it would be impossible not to think that they had altered it out and it is really a bit impossible for a casino machine on giving out when it is fed up already be some lost player and tend to give back some wins
if ever it do reach into that point. In todays case or in overall aspect or point of view then i dont really believe that there would be some sort of tricks
or strategies in related to this.

As most people say Slot gambling is just luck, as for things like that that are considered very convincing, this strategy can't be completely sure. Moreover, by using conventional slot machines, you can see that the strategy applies because of the regulation system in the machine that is often used. Slot machine algorithms vary and it's not necessarily the same as the Slot machines we have. For me the strategy is known by the slot machine controller.

There are fortunate and unfortunate situations here at a same time like, all the usual strategies are applicable to slot machines fortunately but unfortunately I am sure none of them will be profitable to you in any means. So, just playing slots for killing your boredom or to make fun with your friends may help you. If you go for finding a strategy for slots then you may miss all the funs of playing slots with friends.

You are concerned about only physical casino, it seems from your questions but when it comes about online slots then there will be no point of heavily played one or anything related to that (as per my understanding most people here are having only access to online casino hence experiencing real slot machines is not at all possible for gambler like myself.).

I am not aware of how things are with modern devices, so I can’t say anything, but before this strategy worked for sure. And this was a consequence of the fact that the owners of slot machines followed the law (the percentage of return should not be lower than a certain threshold at a certain distance).
As for the "keymaster network" which you said, I did not understand what it was about at all, could you give any links or explain in more detail?
